I knew I needed a new roof

Flat roof, or very low slope?

I’m sure only the legs are in the pictures so we can’t see the fall protection harnesses …

They don’t even have nail bags, much less fall protection. And by the way, this is single story … only solar companies have fall protection on single story work. When you apply for a job as a roofer you have to hit the dirt from a single story roof and then walk it off.
 
Is there an attic space? Must be no. There aren’t attic vents on any of the houses.
 
I see a couple of spots of sealer goop … what are they sealing?

And why do you need so many tin tags, considering the number of nails that will be holding the shingles down?

Tin tags are based on wind zone and type roof. This will be a standing seam metal roof. The sealant is covering areas that may have been compromised during nailing.
 
If the color is white it will stick out like a thumb ... just not a sore thumb.
